I like him. He's fun and folksy. He wouldn't be able to be painted as "an out of touch Ivy League elitist" who is "coming after your guns and Jesus."

Any Democrat can be portrayed as anything the Republicans want, with the help of FOX. Just look at Obama.

Anyway, HP. I like most of his views, but he strikes me as someone who is driven mainly by his ego, which is not a good thing for a politician.

Massive FP. Brian Schweitzer is one of my favorite Democrats and I would enthusiastically vote for him if he was the Democratic nominee in 2016.

FF compared with most Democrats. Green nuttery is a cancer on the left and a roadblock for modernization.

Right, because raw resource extraction and ranching are so fresh, forward-looking, and aligned with the developmental interests of a state whose service sector is booming and environment helps draw in roughly 10 million tourists and other passersby whose money spent comes out to roughly $3,200 per capita in Montana, annually.

Never mind that raising livestock here is a grossly inefficient use of arable land and creates jobs for only a miniscule fraction of our people, that the GOP has been itching for decades to line the Yellowstone River with coal-fired power stations that would give us a vast tonnage of toxins to deal with in the land, water, and air, or that becoming a banana fossil fuel republic out here could potentially make the state's economy and tax revenue vulnerable to swings in prices for such commodities abroad. What's going on next door in North Dakota is just another one of the boom and bust cycles this part of the country has seen pass by many times before.

I must stress, Snowstalker, the future is post-industrial and the American West has been going in that direction now for longer than either of us have been alive. There is certainly something critical to be said about green hacks, but here in Montana there has long been an understanding on both sides of the aisle that conservation is a good thing. The question is simply how far to go with emphasizing the importance of sustainable practices. But sure, feel free to describe some of us as cancerous because we're thinking ahead instead of in the moment. O_o

Huge FF. One of my favorite politicians currently and I hope he runs in 2016.

Barack Obama is also brown, has a funny name, went to Columbia and Harvard, and had that whole "cling to their guns and religion," thing. It'd be much more difficult to portray Schweitzer as the latte liberal archetype.

Would make a fantastic HHS Secretary, and I do consider him a FF on balance.  Still, his support for grotesque environmental degradation would make me incredibly uneasy about having him in the White House.  Not to mention that he'd veto any effective gun control legislation.

FF, but I think he'd make an awful President.

How so?
